How It Goes

You can push and pull me
Won't hurt me at all
Soft touch of my skin
Can crack my shell
And you don't know
Haven't seen my hell
It claws and calls
And eats at the heart of me

I'll play it down and hope that you never see
But knowing me, I've let you know me
That's just how this goes
Despite my intention, I'm here again

Your ego, my ruse
Tended this place
Collected and cool
Your temper, my haste
My jealousy
I constantly expect this to end
Suddenly
And without explanation

I'll play it cool and hope that you never see
I'm wounded too, sometimes it gets the best of me
But at least I know I have the capacity
For now just please
Be here with me
For now
But you just can't be

And you played it down
But it's so clear to me
You're blind and bound
By flashbacks and memories
The 'now' is veiled
By tedious history
And that flash of light
Coming from your periphery
Well I guess that's just how it goes
